Brandi_S's advice column

I'm a mother of 2 boys who are 13 months apart. Talk about a handful. I'm a wife to the best husband I could have ever dreamed of.
I'm one of the very blessed.

I have Bipolar 1 Disorder. I hate taking all these medications and always going to doctors appointments, but life is too short to let mental illness get the better of me.

Often times life is a challenge, and nobody knows that better than me. I wake up wondering if this is going to be a day my illness overpowers my meds, and either sends me flying like a bat out of hell, or leaves me laying on the couch like a wet dish rag.

Thank all that is good in the world that I have an excellent support system at home.
I'm one of the lucky ones.

I'm honest, and that can either be a perk or s flaw. Depends on how you choose to look at it.
I like to see it as a perk, because it's better to hear the truth than to be told candy coated bullshit.

Okay I am 36 weeks pregnant I am dialated to 3 cm's. its the forth day in a row i have been having contractions. The doctors here said oh you may go full term when are they supose to admit you to the hospiatl? Am I wrong for being concerned. This is my second child.

They told me not to come to the hospital until I was having regular contractions that are 10 minutes apart. Being this is your second child, I'm sure you know what Braxton-Hicks contractions are; I'd say that's what you are experiencing.

Of course, you should call your doctor with any questions or concerns.
